This avoids conflicts with the globally installed libguestfs
appliance, or lets us build in multiple local directories at the same
time without conflicts.
Turn:
=item B<-a> | B<--all>
into:
=item B<-a>
=item B<--all>
This gives a more natural-looking manual page, as well as making it
easier to directly link to these sections.
This applies in all the commands which use the common C option parsing
code, ie:
* guestfish
* guestmount
* virt-cat
* virt-df
* virt-filesystems
* virt-inspector
* virt-ls
* virt-rescue
Remove the hack that let you run ./fish/guestfish or
./fuse/guestmount. You now have to do:
./run ./fish/guestfish
or
./run ./fuse/guestmount
to run these programs without installing.
* df/df.c: As above.
* df/main.c: As above.
* df/output.c: As above.
* fuse/guestmount.c: As above.
* inspector/virt-inspector.c: As above.
* rescue/virt-rescue.c: As above.
The documentation for the getxattr and listxattr calls is not very
clear and as a result we were always returning something different
from that which the Linux kernel would usually return.
This fixes these calls, at least far enough that both the 'getfattr'
and 'getfacl' programs now work fine on FUSE-mounted filesystems.
Note that SELinux attrs are *not* passed through. This appears to be
a known bug between SELinux and FUSE. For more information see:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/selinux/msg09460.html
This lets you turn on ACLs and xattrs by doing:
-m /dev/sda1:/:acl,user_xattr
The extra parameter is passed through to mount_options:
libguestfs: trace: mount_options "acl,user_xattr" "/dev/sda1" "/"
The other programs have the variable, but the flag is not enabled
either because it doesn't make sense or because the implications are
not well understood.
This tool replaces virt-list-filesystems and virt-list-partitions with
a new tool written in C with a more uniform command line structure
and output.
This existing Perl tools are deprecated but remain indefinitely.
This also makes libxml2 and libvirt into optional dependencies.
If they are missing then the core API will print an error, as
will the '-d' option to guestfish.
This adds the guestfish --rw option, intended in future
to be required for writing to disk images.
At the moment this does not change the default and so does
nothing. This patch is intended for backporting to the
stable branches so that we can start to introduce scripts
which use 'guestfish --rw'.
This feature is also available in guestmount because of the
shared option parsing code.
You don't need to do anything to enable it, just using -i
will attempt decryption of encrypted partitions.
Only works for simple Fedora whole-disk encryption. It's a
work-in-progress to make it work for other types of encryption.
In guestfish, factor out the processing of the options -a, -c,
-d, -i, -m, -n, -r, -v, -V, -x into a separate set of files:
options.c, options.h, inspect.c, virt.c.
Change guestmount so that it uses these same files (from the
../fish directory) to process the same options.
This unifies the handling of these options between the two programs.
It also adds the useful inspection feature to guestmount, so you
can now do:
guestmount -d Guest -i --ro mnt/
If this string was non-empty, then it broke a lot of things because
autoconf and other parts of the build system were expecting this
string to contain a simple MAJOR.MINOR.RELEASE version number.
This requires changes to guestfish and guestmount so they use the
guestfs_version API to fetch the version from the library. (The
Perl tools were already doing it this way). In a way this is more
accurate, because it's no longer hard-coded in the binary, but
fetched from the dynamically linked libguestfs.so.
The guestfs_write call can be used to create small files with
arbitrary 8 bit content, including \0 bytes.
This replaces and deprecates write-file, which cannot be modified
to use BufferIn because of an unfortunate choice in the ABI: the
size parameter to write-file, if zero, means that the daemon tries
to calculate the length of the buffer using strlen. However this
fails if we pass a zero-length buffer using BufferIn because then
the daemon tries to do strlen on a (really) zero length buffer, not
even containing a terminating \0 character, thus segfaulting.
guestmount.c: In function 'main':
guestmount.c:899: error: implicit declaration of function 'setlocale'
[-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
guestmount.c wasn't including locale.h.
guestfs_mount adds -o sync implicitly. This causes a very large
performance problem for write-intensive programs (eg. virt-v2v).
Document this as a "gotcha".
Change the tests, guestfish, Sys::Guestfs::Lib, guestmount to use
mount-options instead.
(Note that this gotcha does not affect mount-ro).
The source of the performance problem was first identified by
Matthew Booth.
This commit adds the calls to setlocale &c to all of the current
C programs.
It also adds l10n support to hivexget and hivexml which lacked them
previously.
To test this, try:
LANG=pa_IN.UTF-8 guestfish --cmd-help
(You can only do this test after installing the package, or at
least the 'pa.mo' mo-file in the correct place).
Use this program as a convenient way to list the filesystems
available in a disk image or libvirt guest.
Example:
$ virt-list-filesystems /dev/vg_trick/Debian5x64
/dev/debian5x64/home
/dev/debian5x64/root
/dev/debian5x64/tmp
/dev/debian5x64/usr
/dev/debian5x64/var
/dev/sda1
This is designed to make it easier for novices to use guestfish
and guestmount. In particular with guestmount this acts as a way
to get a list of filesystems to use with the '-m' option. ie:
$ virt-list-filesystems unknowndisk.img
/dev/sda1
/dev/sda2
$ guestmount -a unknowndisk.img -m /dev/sda1 /mnt
